That's why it's a gag shot, Mikanojo - it's a humorous behind-the-scenes. I don't think it was taken in malice towards photographers, do you?

Nice for vans / other large cars with limited views behind them. But some people will reverse without looking whatever the information they have.

I stumbled across a bizarre magazine called FAMOSO in the konbini this week - it was back to back Takeshi, with his face pasted on lots of famous / old pictures and all sorts of inane articles. I just didn't get it.

Hahah! This is a lovely tongue-in-cheek shot juxtaposing the garbage bin and the attempt at a beautiful picture. A nice way to remind us all that the imagery we associate with a wedding is as much artifice as anything else! Between the signs to both sides and the tarp behind them, it's no wonder they had to work hard to forge a scene of beauty. I think it's pretty clearly a gag shot, including the trash quite intentionally.

This woman and her tireless work might actually start the ball rolling for real dialogue on Nanking.
Respect.

From what I understand, electronic cigarettes don't contain various of the dangerous secondary chemicals that cause lung cancer - it's not the nicotine that kills you, but the chemicals. So they are somewhat 'safer'. I don't know if that's what this is, though....

You can blame Playstations and DS, and it's fair to put a share of the blame at their feet, certainly... but bowling also requires you to have money and transport. Not all the kids have that; there's certainly no bowling alley in my town, and the nearest one is a half hour drive, with public transport not really an option - different lines. So why go bowl when you can play online with your friends? I do worry that there's not enough mutual evaluation, as the professor said, though...

I'm really worried Japanese TV makers are going to go belly-up when 3D TV sets get discovered to be causing eye damage from prolonged exposure. It's been considered before and shelved because nobody knows what 8h a day of 3D TV will do to your spatial reasoning.

Sort of makes sense if you fancy expensive cars - why should you go out in the uncomfortable garage to see them ?

Read closer, some14. It was robbed Tuesday morning, in this picture. The previous robbing was months ago.
Sucks to work there.

Ivan: That's a pretty bad class. But it's not representative of the whole, I think. Whilst I do think Japan has serious problems in school, they aren't as bad as the article makes out. I would believe more than 3/4 of people read... if keitai novels count?
Acubed: expect much, much more.
Kyrie: You're only showing your own unfamiliarity with Japanese and other languages in general. If people aren't raised using a language where those things are necessarily the same, you can't expect them to grasp the differences easily.
And to the poster who suggested 'did not' ... Back to your grammar and writing books, please. It's a statement in general, not about the last year, so the author is correct.

I had a lovely time in Otaru a few weeks back, but Hotel Nord was a bit of a walk from any decent food in the evening, and the staff looked at me blankly when I asked for restaurant recommendations. Later, coming back, I noticed a poster of such information in the very foyer of the hotel...

What are you going to be doing in the street that you don't want people seeing , anyway? coming out of an Akiba porno store? Like people seeing you do that on video would make any difference.

Pretty wild speculation, indeed. I don't see gamers going in for a tablet anytime soon; part of the experience for the hardcore is their big TVs and surround sound. I'm sure it'll be more like an eBook thing.

I can't get my head around the concept of 'I've failed and gotten us into trouble, I should kill all my family so that they don't suffer'. People who think they can do this need to look around them at the people who succeed despite a poor start. I know the Japanese approach is very different, but it's a slap in the face to your own children and family to say 'I don't think you're good enough to get us out of this one'. Who is he to decide? After all, he's the one that got them into the position! No judge of potential there.
